21、When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father’s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.
Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We’ d sit on the edge of the dock(码头), feet dangling(摇晃), and got ready for a big meal.
Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.
Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.
What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.
For many years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.
Well, I’ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.
【1】We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______.
A.relaxed
B.worried
C.hungry
D.proud
【2】How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?
A.They ate it in a polite way.

D.They shared only one piece.
【3】In the eyes of the writer’s father, Bernie ______.
A.was just a rich businessman
B.worked hard all the time
C.lived a rich but healthy life
D.knew how to make money
【4】The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A.the best part of the watermelon
B.the writer’s busy life

22、 Did you go to Shanghai Disneyland Park last summer? Did you see those famous cartoon characters?Donald Duck was just one of them.
In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the film-maker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney's cartoon film for children. When Walter Disney heard Nash's voice, he said, "Stop! That's our duck!”
One year later, the duck appeared in the film. It was the now-famous Donald Duck. The wise little Duck Donald lived in an old houseboat and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audiences liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper(脾气)very easily. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey's eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn't a goody-goody(伪善者), like Mickey.
In the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared—there were no more new cartoons.
Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today's children can still see the old cartoons on the television and hear that famous voice.
【1】Why did Walter Disney choose Clarence Nash?

D. He is silly but hardworking.
【3】How long did Clarence Nash dub for(为……配音) Donald Duck?
A. For 52 years. B. For 42 years. C. For 33 years. D. For 23 years.
【4】Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Walter Disney made Donald Duck film.
B. Mickey Mouse is less popular than Donald Duck in the1930s.
C. Clarence Nash became famous for an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film.
D. Today's children can’t s see Donald Duck any more on TV.

23、We’re sitting too much and it’s dangerous. Most Americans spend more than seven hours sitting every day, and the more you sit, the weaker your body will be.
Fortunately, there are simple changes you can make during the day — anywhere, even at the workplace — to improve your health.
Park a few blocks away from the office each morning and walk to work.
This allows you to start off your mornings actively and be ready to take on the work. If you take the bus, get off one stop earlier to take some light exercise before 8 a.m.
Stand up and move around the office once every 60 — 90 minutes.
When you’re busy with work, it’s easy to forget the time. Set the alarm to remind(提醒) you to stand up and take a walk around the office. You can use this time to fill up your water bottle or go to the bathroom.
Ask questions and discuss questions face to face.
Go to your co-worker’s office to discuss questions face to face, rather than send an e-mail every time you have a question. This gives you a good excuse to move.
Use your lunch break to move around outside.
So many Americans today work during their lunch break. When possible, take advantage of(利用) this time to walk outside and enjoy the nice weather. Fresh air can make you keep a clear mind.
【1】The underlined word “Fortunately” in Paragraph 2 means __________.
A.unluckily

D.possibly
【2】Every morning, we can park a few blocks away from the office to __________.
A.save some money

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.We should discuss questions face to face during the lunch break.
B.We should send an e-mail every time we have a question.

24、In the 1950s, a female swimmer set a goal for herself. She decided to swim across the English Channel(海峡) before she retired(退休). If she could make it, she would be the first person in the world who did it.
On that day, she jumped into the sea and swam towards the opposite bank.
In the journey, she faced heavy fog, heavy rain and heavy waves(波浪). Though she was very tired, she carried on swimming.
But in the end, she gave up. And what she didn’t know at the moment she gave up was that the opposite bank(海岸) was only 1 mile away.
Later people asked her about the reason. And she said “The reason why I gave up is that I could not see the destination(目的地) which I was so close to.”
Too many success stories have been telling us about courage and persistence(坚持). But they never told us where to find courage(勇气) and persistence.
You can have courage only when you know where your goal is. You can succeed in persisting only when you know where your goal is, and prepare yourself well mentally(心理上).
Courage and persistence never fall from the sky. They come from weighing between input and output.
A life without goals is like a ship without a compass(指南针). It goes nowhere. There is no courage or persistence in a life without goals.
【1】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Being retired.
B.Swimming across the English Channel.
C.Swimming towards the bank.
D.Setting a goal.
【2】Why did the athlete give up?
A.The bank was one mile away.
B.She was too tired.
C.She didn’t have courage at first.
D.She thought her destination was far away.
【3】What can be inferred (推论) from the last sentence of the passage?
A.If you have courage and persistence, you have goals.
B.Even if you have no goals, you have courage to persist.
C.There is no courage or persistence unless you know your goals.
D.Between input and output, you must find courage and persistence.
25、 You probably talk to friends more than you talk to your parents. Still, most of us want parent's help, advice, and support at times. But you may have stress when talking 【1】 your parents. Here are some 【2】 to make it easier.
Talking to parents about daily things can help you solve something difficult in your life 【3】 they have more experience 【4】 you.
Find something to chat about each day. Talk about how your team did at the sports meeting. Share something that one of your teachers said. Even small talk about what's 【5】 dinner can help your relationship comfortable.
It's never too late to start. If your relationship with your parents makes you 【6】 nervous, try getting into conversations slowly. Chatting with parents not only 【7】 the present relationship strong, it also can help a might-be-worse relationship get better.
When parents feel connected to your daily life, they can be there for 【8】 if something really important happens. So try to talk with your parents.
